Rear Hatch Latch

Well, the actual latching mechanism went bad on my 09 with 70k on it. The read door still opened and closed but it simply wouldnt latch. Here's the kicker; there's no way to manually latch the door shut, what a $%#$%. I had to drive around with freaking duct tape on my car to keep the door kind of shut for a few days. Can you imagine????

Anyhow, got it repaired from an indy i've befriened for $400.00.

Just an FYI.

I see I guess I'm not the only one using duct tape so you replaced or repaired it

Yeah, the duct tape was really ticking me off.

I replace the latching motor. Did not try to repaire it.
